Is it necessary to follow our follow our followers?

    One of my twitter friends once told me that in order to get back a large number of followers to your twitter account you should follow back your followers. So I want to know is this concept true? So we again follow back the peoples who follow us?

    Usually, following our followers is nice. But following our follow our followers is brillant.
    Now, imagine you could follow our follow our followers following our follow of our followers...now, that's huge....

    What dcristo wants to say is you're no one, nobody. What should people follow other dudes who bring nothing? Who cares about the color of your underwears?
    Now, don't get me wrong. Twitter is for people who cares about lady gaga underwears' colors. Actually, Twitter is for 2 kind of people: Famous because stupid idiots want to know what they just vomited and spammers trying to sell BS to stupid followers...

    I'm really trying to understand the point here. I mean, what even is the point of Twitter. It all seems remarkably stupid if you ask me.

    following or followers are like mlm, a chain of network.
    but not necessary to follow your follower

    No, it isn't necessary to follow your followers. It won't necessarily help you to get more followers, but it wouldn't hurt either. It all just depends on your personal preference!

    That follow follower stuff gave me a headache.

    Anyway coming to the point following your followers is good from business point of view. This is much like give and take thing, if they follow you return their favor by doing the same. But don't the expect the same with celebrities or tycoons.

    No need to follow your followers back, if you want to get huge followers tweet interesting things that get helpful to others.It should be unique and informative,so that people get interested to read your tweet...:)

    Not really, but it does increase your twitter followers. People might follow you, just because they want a follow back.
    So initially, when you don't have much followers, I would say yes...but once you have enough...I wouldn't follow back.

    This thread couldn't be more confusing!

    In a nutshell. The higher ratio of people you 'follow back'... the more likely that people will continue to follow you.

    If you don't follow back there is a chance that some of those following you will unfollow you as you didn't reciprocate.

    Unless you're a celebrity, most people will find it hard to get followers on twitter unless you engage in this follow-back exchange service.

    No it's not necessary that you follow your followers but following goes both ways. You can easily be unfollowed by people you unfollow. If you don't care about them following you or not I wouldn't concern myself with it. I personally only follow people within the niches relevant to mine and only those who follow me back. If someone is following me and I have no interest in their particular niche I usually don't follow back especially if they are a tweetering maniac. Point I'm trying to make is it depends on what you're using twitter for. Business or personal?

    One more thing, don't waste your money on buying followers unless you want to get spammed to no end...
